With Norwegian musician Juni Habel, prepare yourself to be charmed. Her second album "Carvings" is one pleasant moment to spend.
The writing is very affectionate and delicately carried by Habel's lovely vocal performance. The first three songs alone already carry the album with their superb music and charismatic tone. While the rest of "Carvings" does feel more familiar, it's never boring and always brings a hug to the heart.
A nice little folk record that starts really strong with the gorgeous Rhythm of the Tides but doesn’t sore to those heights again unfortunately

I feel like in the right moment, in the right setting, this record really shines. It also can help you calm down if you are angry about accidentally squirting some ketchup on your favorite sweatshirt during lunch. Just close your eyes, listen for the finger-picking, and breathe.
